Focus on St Mary's Special School, Rochestown

  This week we focus on St Marys Special School who won  Best in Category for their School Garden. This continues to be a wonderful garden. The garden covers many of the elements including Art Colour, Food Production, Biodiversity, use of the Irish language and is a fun learning place for all the children. We were very impressed by the brilliant art work, t   he strawberries in guttering, the new raised beds and use of bark mulch from fallen trees. The polytunnel is well utilised and the herb garden is a great addition, Wildflower area/ biodiversity elements (pond) are brilliant, we loved it ,keep up the great work.

 Congratulations to all involved at St Mary's Special School,

The enthusiasm and knowledge of the children was amazing. Labeling and use of Irish was excellent. Very good use of upcycling colour and art and we loved the wildflower area and the wildflower meadow.   Great overall Garden.  The soil could benefit from some conditioning mulching and maturing in some places and we look forward to seeing your plans for a nature trail come to fruition. Also consider more water harvesting near your beds.
